4、 it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to remove the financial insecurity that _28_ (acquire) in childhood. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. Alan also suffered from heart attack, _29_ cost the family much. One thing led to _30_,
5、and they found themselves in a financial disaster. Their house needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership and the cars. It was several years _31_ Alan and Linda managed to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from wealthy, they have learned a valuable

7、nships with our parents. In real life, however, this is not always possible. The poem “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden expresses the speakers regret over the way the speaker, when he was young, _33_ (treat) his father. It is only when he looks back on how he has grown up _34_ he begins to und
8、erstand his fathers unselfish love.In remembering the small things his father did _35_ him and his family, such as lighting a fire in the morning and polishing his shoes, the speaker begins to understand an aspect of parental love that escaped _36_ notice in the past.As he recalls how his father war
9、med the house, the speakers coldness toward his father starts to melt away. In its place is love and gratitude.

Over the last few years, I have found that having male nurses is a real bonus, and they definitely have a place in our hospital. There are sev
13、eral reasons for wanting male nurses here, not only because half the population in our country is male. Men _41_ excellent carers and are _42_ good at taking care of others. In fact, many men take good care of their children, wives, parents, sisters, brothers, and even their nieces and nephews. Anot
14、her reason that men can become great nurses is that in general, men are _43_ stronger than women. Male nurses can help _44_ heavy objects, or if, for example, a patient cannot move from the waist down, male nurses can help move the patient into a comfortable _45_. Also, male nurses can be a great he
15、lp in keeping patients _46_ while they receive painful treatment, such as when bandages covering wounds are changed. Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different _47_ from women and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving. This allows the hospital to work
16、more effectively than if we only _48_ problems one way. Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere, which helps patients recover faster. Currently, only 7 percent of our nursing staff are men; this number is far too low, and the problem requires correction. Having more
17、 male nurses will help create a positive _49_ between male and female staff, and it will _50_ patients the choice of a male or female carer. I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital. I will be organizing an open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital
18、 and find out more about nursing. Hopefully, we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon! III.
